well Nestor - while sympathising, in a general way, with your nation's
feelings of annoyance at the continuing imperial occupation of those
off-shore islands it has to be regarded as a very minor matter for
anti-imperialist struggle in Britain - where the two major struggles must be
        1. against the co-operation of the British government's in the US
attempt to  rule the world and in particular with the
occupation/colonisation of Iraq
and
        2. the ending of the British occupation of Ireland.

We may add ending the colonisation of the Malvinas to the list, but I am
afraid it must come rather a long way down the list - probably even below
the problem of the Diego Garcia - with little chance of raising interest
among those still doubtful about nos. 1 & 2 - but thanks for the web-site
reference
